I am Inês, a local surf guide born and raised in Lisbon. Growing up by the Atlantic I developed a deep connection with the ocean and a passion for sharing the incredible surf culture that makes Portugal so special. For me surfing is more than a sport. It is a way to connect with nature, challenge yourself and enjoy the simple rhythm of the sea. My goal is to help you experience Lisbon’s coastline like a local, with the best waves, beautiful beaches and a friendly atmosphere that makes every session memorable.
